Today is part 1 of 5 in a series of solo episodes where I break down my favorite marketing book, The Catalyst: How To Change Anyone’s Mind, by Jonah Berger. Over the next five weeks, my goal is to help you understand how to remove roadblocks and lower barriers that prevent your customers from taking action. I’m so excited to share this with you because it is one of the reasons why the customer journey exists. When you listen, send me a DM on Instagram to let me know how you will implement this weekly challenge into your life and business.
